Mizumi Review – Lovely Dinner @ the Wynn in Vegas!
Our final meal during our Vegas after Christmas trip was at Mizumi at the Wynn. We stayed at the Venetian, so the Wynn was really close by. So interesting how during this trip, besides going to the MGM Grand, we mostly walked to nearly casinos – Aria, Park MGM, Wynn, etc. Anyways, Mizumi was so enjoyable as the design and view, as well as the food, were total eye candy.
Family Style
I love ordering a bunch of stuff and everyone at the table shares since we then get to try a bit of everything. We were so delighted to hear that family style is the preferred way to dine at Mizumi. The plates are small-ish, and the food comes out just as the way they did at Girl & the Goat – when ever they are ready. The food comes out pretty fast compared to most other places we’ve tried during this trip, so it’s rather efficient here.
Menu Style
We didn’t see an omakase option here, which was fine. They had a bunch of various raw appetizers, some hot appetizers, grill items, rolls, and traditional sushi/sashimi options – right up my alley! I suppose it’s tapas style as each plate was small and sharable. Now let’s get started with the food!
Ordering and Food So Far
We started off ordering a small handful of things and then ordered more after we’re about to finish the stuff that we initially ordered. Presentation is on point here so far. The snapper carpaccio and the crispy rice spicy tuna came out really fast and both were delicious. Definitely a great first experience here as our taste buds were satisfied!
Time for Round 2
Those 4 items were the stuff we ordered initially, and we were ready for more. We liked what we’ve had so far, which was a great sign! The only thing that was a bit disappointing for me was the sashimi plate. Description was, “chef’s selection of premium sashimi from Japan,” and the majority of it didn’t seem that premium. Generic selections and only a 2 -3 really stood out. It was all good though, including the wasabi! They really did get their raw scallops right. So good.
Time for Dessert!
It’s almost dessert time! The dessert menu looked pretty good, which included –
- Mizumi Cappuccino – Bailey’s Irish Cream foam, coffee ice cream, freeze dried orange, dark chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies.
- Yuzu & Passionfruit Soufflé – Japanese 100% yuzu extract, coconut ice cream, passionfruit jelly, elderflower.
- Selection of Mochi Ice Cream- green tea, red bean, coconut, mango.
- Min’s Golden Pavlova – Strawberries, candied orange, Japanese popping candy, yellow passionfruit purée, vanilla cream, raspberry coulis.
- Roasted Chestnut “Mount-Fuji” – Chestnut ice cream, chestnut purée, Nikki Japanese whiskey parfait, mandarin poached pear.
- Goma & Natsu Chocolate Fondant – Vanilla ice cream, melting peanut butter, golden nugget tangerine gel, sesame chips.
- Sesame “Goma” Street – Hazelnut and sesame praline, toasted white chocolate mousse, banana butter crumble, black sesame ice cream.
- Selection of Ice Creams – green tea, red bean, vanilla, chocolate.
- Selection of sorbets – Lychee, Banana-passion, pandan, blackberry sorbet.
Yuzu Passionfruit Souffle
We went with the soufflé! The cappuccino sounded really good, but we felt it would be difficult to share and we didn’t want to order individual desserts. All of us loved the whiskey cappuccino from Nobu when we tried their tasting menu during a previous Vegas trip. The soufflé was made to order so we just chatted about random stuff and talked about the food here until our soufflé arrived. We got new silverware for it as well.
Happy Birthday
We mentioned in our reservation that we were ALL celebrating our belated birthdays here, and guess what? ALL of us got the happy birthday dessert. So nice!!! Most places gave just one if we ordered dessert (i.e. Morimoto gave one after we ordered dessert, and Ramsay’s Kitchen did not give us one as we didn’t order dessert). They also gave us a happy birthday note as well. So sweet!
Worth It / Will we go Back?
I’d love to go back here and I think my friends would agree. The food here is rather pricey, but the food, service, and atmosphere was really nice. We’d love to try more of their items, and possibly one of their wagyus next time. Perhaps their chef choice sushi, which we would need to all get one since splitting a sushi piece doesn’t seem right. There are a lot of other Vegas restaurants we would want to try during subsequent trips, so we might hit those first, but we’d love to come back to Mizumi!
